The show follows the couple as they help families transform rundown and outdated houses into beautiful homes that reflect their personal style and needs.

Ben and Erin take extra steps to understand the family's needs, and their design choices are customized to meet those needs. They often incorporate sentimental items from the family's past, like a piece of furniture or a family heirloom, to add personality to the home design. The show also highlights the couple's design expertise. Ben is a woodworker and craftsman, and his attention to detail is evident in the intricate woodwork that is incorporated into the renovation projects. Erin is a talented artist, and she often creates custom paintings and other pieces of artwork to add a personal touch to the home.
